Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on crime and safety
- whether the proposed development would provide for a satisfactory standard of accommodation for its future occupiers with particular regard to outlook and private amenity space
- the effect of the development on highway safety with specific regard to parking
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, vulnerability to crime and anti-social behaviour, and inadequate private amenity space for future occupiers significantly outweighed the acceptable highway safety provision.
The acceptable effect on highway safety was significantly outweighed by the harmful effects on character and appearance, crime and safety, and the less than ideal standard of accommodation for future occupants.
